1 WILLIAMSPORT AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR (July 1, 2013 June 30, 2014) Prepared By Lycoming County Department of Planning and Community Development River Valley Transportation Services Approved By Williamsport Area Transportation Study Metropolitan Planning Organization February 25,

2 PREFACE On October 28, 1993, the U.S. Department of Transportation, under joint sponsorship of the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration, released updated regulations covering the urban transportation planning and programming process. These regulations specified that (1) Metropolitan Planning Organizations, MPO(s) in cooperation with the State and operators of publicly owned transit shall develop unified planning work programs (UPWPs) that meet the requirements of 23 CFR Part 420, Subpart A and; (2) Discuss the planning priorities facing the metropolitan planning area and describe all metropolitan transportation and transportation air quality planning activities (including the corridor and subarea studies discussed in of this part) anticipated within the area during the next one or two year period, regardless of funding sources or agencies conducting activities, in sufficient detail to indicate who will perform the work, the schedule for completing it and the products that will be produced; (3) Document planning activities to be performed with funds provided under Title 23, U.S.C., and the Federal Transit Act. (Federal Register, Vol. 58, no. 207, p.58040). Within Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, the transportation planning process is conducted through the Williamsport Area Transportation Study (WATS). WATS was established in The purpose of this document is to describe the transportation planning and programming activities for the period of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 in Lycoming County, and to comply with the Federal Planning Regulations identified above. 2

3 WILLIAMSPORT AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY (WATS) METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) PROSPECTUS I. Introduction The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) describes the transportation-related work activities that the Lycoming County Department of Planning and Community Development (PCD) and River Valley Transit (RVT) (with the aid of planning consultants, as necessary) will perform in the next state fiscal year within Lycoming County. The PCD and RVTS have jointly developed this work program. II. Long Range Transportation Plan The Williamsport MPO adopted the Lycoming County Comprehensive Plan Update as the WATS Long Range Transportation Plan in June, An interim update to the WATS Long Range Plan was undertaken in 2012 until a full plan update and adoption can be completed by December 31, The MPO recognizes the strong relationship of transportation planning to land use planning, environmental planning, economic planning and overall comprehensive planning. In general terms, the Long Range Plan delineates how the available and projected transportation funds will be spent in Lycoming County over a 20 year period. A staged transportation project listing is included along with estimated costs, funding sources and timeframes to undertake each project phase. The plan is fiscally constrained in that project costs do not exceed present and future funding levels reasonably expected to be received during the plan s timeframe. The plan addresses federal requirements to adjust project cost estimates to reflect the Year of Expenditure inflation factors in accordance with PennDOT issued guidance. The Long Range Plan also outlines the MPOs vision of the future transportation system; describes all existing modes of transportation such as highways, bridges, public transit, air service, rail service and bicycle and pedestrian facilities; addresses federal planning factors, and provides public policy statements by transportation mode. A well established local public involvement process is in place to ensure sufficient opportunities for public input early and often during plan development. The WATS Public Participation Plan is being updated in III. Transportation Improvement Program and Clean Air Act Amendments The WATS Transportation Improvement Program, (TIP) is a document identifying all highway, bridge and public transit projects containing Federal, State and local funds being programmed within Lycoming County during the next four Federal Fiscal Years. These types of projects cannot proceed until they are included on the TIP. The TIP is developed cooperatively between PennDOT, the Lycoming County PCD and RVT for review and approval by the WATS MPO every two years. Again, an extensive MPO public involvement process is employed during development of the TIP. Projects are identified from the WATS Long Range Plan consistent with financial guidance provided by PennDOT, as the TIP must also be fiscally constrained. Upon 3

4 approval by the WATS MPO, the TIP is forwarded to PennDOT and FHWA / FTA for final approval. Modifications or formal amendments to the TIP can be considered by the MPO at any time. The MPO has adopted TIP Administrative Procedures to process TIP modifications and formal amendments. Since Lycoming County is designated as an air quality attainment area currently meeting the Clean Air Act standards, the WATS Long Range Plan and WATS TIP are not subject to an air quality conformity analysis. IV. Committees and Agency Responsibilities A. The WATS Coordinating Committee is the policy-making body of the MPO. The Coordinating Committee consists of 11 voting representatives as follows: PennDOT District 3-0 Executive, Chairman. PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Planning Lycoming County Commissioner Lycoming County Commissioner Mayor of Williamsport Williamsport City Council Member River Valley Transit General Manager SEDA-COG Joint Rail Authority Executive Director Williamsport Regional Airport Executive Director Lycoming County Association of Township Officials Representative Lycoming-Sullivan Boroughs Association Representative Non Voting Members consist of: Federal Highway Administration Federal Transit Administration US Department of Housing and Urban Development PA Department of Community and Economic Development B.
